Ruaridh’s thrilledat returnto Glasgow
RUARIDH JACKSON will be back in Glasgow colours next season after leaving Harlequins and agreeing to a one-year deal.
The 29-year-old Scotland stand-off started his career with Warriors but moved south in 2014 to join Wasps before switching last summer to Harlequins.
Now Jackson, who scored 448 points in 113 outings for Warriors, will return to where it all began subject to passing a medical.
Finn Russell remains Glasgow’s first choice at No.10 but Jackson says he is ready to push the Scotland star and British and Irish Lions full-back Stuart Hogg for a place in Dave Rennie’s side next season.
He said: “I’m really excited about coming back to Glasgow. I spent a long time there earlier in my career and it was great.
“Playing in England has been a good experience and one that’s made me a better and more rounded player.
“I enjoyed working under Jason O’Halloran when he was with Scotland so I’m looking forward to striking up that relationship again. I’m really excited to see how Dave Rennie operates.
“I still see myself as a 10 but I’m happy to play either there or at full-back.
“It’s a really exciting time to be rejoining, with the new Guinness PRO14 and all it holds so I’m looking forward to getting back to Glasgow.”
